Year X is NOT the Year of the Linux Desktop

"Every year, there are at least ten writers (Ashamedly, I'm
included in that ten) who proclaim that the current year or the
upcoming year will be the year of the Linux desktop. I've given up
hope for it. I've given up on the idea of an acceptable level of
Linux adoption on the desktop. I've given up on the prospect of
ever having corporate Linux desktops and I think everyone else
should too.

"By the time there is widespread acceptance for Linux desktops,
it will be too late. Web-based desktops will replace the old school
heavy desktop operating systems of today."
